RLM MRP execution at storage location

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

Need help - I am configuring RLM with MRP - need help with below:

Requirement: I need to run MRP at the main storage location first (requirement is from Plant Maint order), followed by another MRP run at secondary storage locations. I want to deplete stock in the main storage location before using up stock at secondary storage locations.

This is not for re-order point planning (VB) for both storage locations, I know that I can plan MRP separately at storage location levels, but that only works with re-order point replenishment.

Is MRP area configuration my only option?

If possible I want to avoid MRP area configuration - I hear once it is configured we can revert back!

Hi Joe,

As per your client requirement, you need to run MRP at Main storage location, and want to avoid performing at storage location, here you can define the supply chain derivation via plant Mainteniance order by using using item category and transport requistion in RLM Configuration. you have option to select the order type order type item category ( ), item category change rule ...( newer change item category) & direct prourement type ( SAP Std ).

Yes MRP Area is the only option, the MRP first as plant level is the option, check in setting ie Step-3 Supply process derivation via plant ( supply type PD).

The parameters for the RLM Supply Process are a combination of the following:

· Material requirements planning (MRP) type at the requesting plant or storage location (the plant making the request for materials)

· MRP type at the supplying plant or storage location (the plant or storage location supplying the material)

· Special procurement type at the demanding plant or storage location.
